From 2004 on I have dedicated myself to Rally sports where material suffers long and heavy wear and tear. Like in the Dakar rally where sand, stones and mud-streams are to be expected. I finished this approx 10,000km competition with a single Tsubaki MX Alpha XRG chain!Within my sports, where distances of 800 Km a day are no exeption, it’s a blessing when the chain only needs initial adjustment and keeps its shape and length true-out the whole race. Tsubaki chain provides this.

In 2015 I plan to compete in my 10th DAKAR rally with my own team-structure ; ‘’Yamaha Netherlands Verhoeven’’ under the Yamaha Factory Racing flag. For me personal this is a “come back“ to the brand. This team-structure provides to breed young talented riders in Rally-raids to prepare them for the long runs and to commit them to the Yamaha brand.”

'Tsubaki chain suffered virtually no stretch'Paul DenningTeam Principal, Crescent Suzuki WSBKManaging Director Crescent MotorcycleCrescent Suzuki has been competing in professional Superbike Championships since 1997 and we have used many different drive chains in these 15 years. 2012 was our first season in the World Superbike Championship and we can honestly say that the Tsubaki chain was the most reliable and durable chain we have ever used. Even with engine power increasing to over 220ps, the Tsubaki chain suffered virtually no stretch and ran with very little friction, even in wet conditions”.

'It could have lasted for the entire Dakar rally'

Henno van BergeijkRally veteran“My experiences with Tsubaki chains are super; they are indestructible and often last longer than the sprockets. The last Dakar with my heavy KTM 690, I've only changed the chain as a precaution , certainly not because it was worn: It could have lasted for the entire Dakar rally!”.

"This gives us full confidence!"

Rob en Dafne de JongRide-on MotorTours“As an organizer and supervisor of overland-travel to distant and unfamiliar areas, we are like no other, depending on the reliability and durability of our material. Whether we travel from Paris to Beijing, around the world or from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, the Tsubaki chains we use withstand these challenges effortless. This gives us full confidence!”.

"We rely on Tsubaki chain for over 15 years ."

Jacky MartensTeam owner JM-Racing KTMFor over 15 years using Tsubaki MX Pro and MX Alpha XRG chain with great satisfaction.

Simon Buckmaster,PTR Honda Team Manager“You can always count on Tsubaki. The drive chain is something people do not think about on a bike but it is an integral part of PTR’s race-winning package. We’ve always used Tsubaki chain and they have never let us down.”
